Quick Reference

King of the demons, as this strange figure is described in the Talmud, where he is provided with a consort, Igrat, ‘queen of the demons’. Ashmedai, in Jewish folklore, is not identified with the Devil or Satan but is rather like Shakespeare's Puck, a mischievous prankster but not evil.
